taxi to train station? if you're that worried about it getting broken into then surely the taxi fare would be less expensive than whatever you have to pay to get a window replaced?

That doesn't really work for me as I've a three hour drive to a station that's 30 mins from London (on a train) , rather take the train into London than try and drive about looking for and pay for parking



Thanks anyway...

I'm from Harlow and to be honest mate I wouldn't worry about parking your car at the train station. Whenever I have been down there I have seen an R8 parked daily, Porsches, and a good few £60plus cars.
I have been so tempted at times to leave a note under windscreens saying "what do you do and how can I do it?" And leave my number lol
Honestly wouldn't worry tbh
